IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be observed,
including the following:
1.
READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Close adult supervision must be provided when this appliance is used by or near
children.
3. Keep pressure cooker out of the reach of children.
4. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
5. Using attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
6. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should,
has been dropped or damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, do not use it and
return it to the manufacturer for proper service and replacement or repair.
7. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
8. Make sure appliance is off before unplugging from wall outlet.
9. Always unplug before cleaning and removing parts.
10. For indoor use only.
11. Do not place near a hot gas or electric burner.
12. Do not cover the appliance or have it near flammable material including curtains,
draperies, walls, and the like when in operation.
13. Always use in a well ventilated area.
14. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse plug, cord or housing in water or any
other liquid.
15. Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator knob when releasing pressure.
16. After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns can result from
steam inside the unit.
17. While the unit is in operation, never remove the lid.
18. Do not use without the removable cooking pot in place.
19. Do not cover the pressure valves with anything. An explosion may occur.
20. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the appliance is plugged in.
21. Do not fill the unit over 1/2 full with food or 2/3 full with liquid. When cooking foods that
expand during cooking, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full.
22. Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other
cereals, split peas, noodles and pasta, or rhubarb should not be cooked under pressure
in the pressure cooker. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the
floating valve.
23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable cooking pot.
24. Do not use an extension cord with this pressure cooker. However, if one is used, it must
have a rating equal to or exceeding the rating of this appliance.
25. The pressure cooker is for household use only.
26. The pressure cooker should not be used for other than the intended use.
27. Extreme caution should be used when moving any appliance containing hot food or
liquid.
28. Servicing or repair should only be completed by a qualified technician.
29. The pressure cooker has polarized AC (alternating current) plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way, as a safety feature.
Reverse the plug if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet. Contact a qualified electrician
if it still does not fit. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
30. WARNING: Never deep fry or pressure fry in the pressure cooker. It is dangerous and
may cause a fire and serious damage.
